MM’s Saturday Weather Forecast for April 16

“We focus on Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday, but we forget to pause in the stillness of the days between. Find time today to be present in that place of waiting. There is treasure to be found in the sacred peace that comes as you breathe in that place of quiet surrender. Don’t rush through the space called “Between.”” ― Katherine J Walden

Easter Sunrise Forecast

On This Day

1998- A major tornado outbreak spawns 13 tornadoes across Middle Tennessee, beginning early in the morning and continuing through the afternoon. A massive nearly one-mile wide F-4 tornado kills 3 in Wayne County, and another F-5 tornado heavily damages the Deerfield area of Lawrence County. An F-3 tornado moves through downtown Nashville, the first tornado to hit the downtown area in more than 65 years. Baseball-size hail is reported northwest of Ashland City (Cheatham County), damaging 35 to 50 homes. This is the 9th largest tornado outbreak in mid state history.

This outbreak the one and only recorded F-5 tornado to ever strike the state of Tennessee.

MM News 


Thursday night’s MM kids class went so well! I had about a dozen kids turn out and we had the best time figuring out much electricity we could detect in fruit. We also made fluorescent light bulbs light up a bit using static and we had the best time playing with the plasma ball! It was a great class! Next month’s class topic is on tornadoes.

There will be a new MM kids class at the Roane State campus in Clarkrange beginning Thursday, May 19 at 5:00! This is the first MM class to be offered in Fentress County! Be sure and register your child at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdT4pInL6_FnnDYQhLEHvCgxlbP-792D5_vNpwD2G5fDhEIEA/viewform

I am excited to announce that I’ll be doing a talk about weather/climate and its impact on wine! This class is for adults and will be hosted by Stonehaus Winery.
